Relational Futures: Indigenous Peoples and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The purpose of this research is to generate a deeper, Indigenous-led understanding of how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples know, use, and imagine artificial intelligence in everyday life. Central to this inquiry is the role of AI companions, technologies that simulate care, connection, and intimacy, and how they are taken up across health, education, employment, and social relations.
The project examines not only current practices and experiences but also how Indigenous peoples envision futures with AI, asking what ethical, cultural, and relational frameworks should guide the design, governance, and use of these technologies to ensure they strengthen rather than undermine sovereignty, kinship, and digital justice.
